Course summary

The VMware vSphere 6.0 Install, Configure and Manage (ICM) & Optimise and Scale course is focused on VMware vSphere users who have completed a previous VMware vSphere VCP ICM course in either 4.1 or 5.0. However those who have no experience of VMware vSphere technology but wish to gain experience in the latest 6.0 vsphere architecture are also encouraged to apply. This course will teach both core and advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you will configure and optimise the vSphere features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure and discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect.
